Need type answer 1.A highway section has an accident rate of 150 accidents per 100 mvk. If the mean accident rate for all sections is 55 per 100 mvk, and the standard deviation is 26 per 100 mvk,should the section under study be flagged as hazardous with 90 percent confidence? 2. A stretch of four-lane, two-way highway 5.0 km long has a traffic volume of 25,000 vehicles per day. If for the last three years, the total number of accidents recorded was 1,800, determine the accident rate per 99 mvk.
Data on a traffic accident recorded on a certain intersection for the past 7 years has an accident rate of 4288 per million entering vehicles (ARMV).

A traffic engineer urgently needs to determine the AADT on a rural primary road that has the volume distribution characteristics as discussed. She collected the data shown below on a Friday during the month of March. Determine the AADT of the road. 1:00 –2:00 p.m. = 600; 2:00 –3:00 p.m. = 645; 3:00 –4:00 p.m. = 730; 4:00 –5:00 p.m. = 780; 5:00 –6:00 p.m. = 815; 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. = 795
Two sets of students are collecting data at two sections XX and YY of a highway 430m apart. Observations at XX show that five vehicles passed that section at interval 3,4,3,5s respectively. If speed of vihecles were 50,45,40,35,35 kph respectively draw schematic showing locations of vehicles 20s after the first vehicle passed section XX and determine a)time mean speed b)space mean speed c)density of the highway
At a specified point on a highway, vehicles are known to arrive according to a Poissonprocess. Vehicles are counted in 30-second intervals, and vehicle counts are taken in 120 ofthese time intervals. It is noted that no cars arrive in 18 of these 120 intervals. a) Approximate the number of these 120 intervals in which exactly three cars arrive. b) Estimate the Percentage of time headways that will be 10 seconds or greater andthose that will be less than 6 seconds.
